TV show description:
A drama series that brings a new take to the story of Merlin (Colin Morgan), the sorcerer of Arthurian legend.

In this version, the mythical kingdom of Camelot is a fantastical realm of legendary beasts and mysterious people, a dangerous world where magic has been banned by the stern and protective king, Uther Pendragon (Anthony Stewart Head).

When Merlin, a young man gifted with extraordinary magical powers, arrives in the kingdom, he quickly makes enemies — including the heir to Uther’s crown, headstrong Prince Arthur (Bradley James). Guided by Uther’s wise physician Gaius (Richard Wilson) and The Great Dragon (voiced by John Hurt), Merlin begins use his talents to unlock Camelot’s numerous mystical secrets. As he does so, he discovers that his destiny and that of Arthur, the kingdom’s young leader in waiting, are inextricably linked. Merlin becomes Arthur’s servant and begins to bond with the Prince

Morgana (Katie McGrath) is the daughter of Uther’s deceased best friend, and now the King’s ward. Despite their class differences, she is best friends with her servant girl, Gwen (Angel Coulby). Though Gwen generally has an open and friendly personality, she occasionally butts heads with Arthur.

Meanwhile, Nimueh (Michelle Ryan), a beautiful and powerful sorceress, is bent on destroying Uther, Arthur, and restoring magic to Camelot.

What do you think? Do you like the Merlin TV series? Are you sorry that it’s ending?

I’m disappointed that it has been canceled and ended in such a manner. They could have at least ended with Merlin revealing his magic to Arthur and Arthur accepting magic in his kingdom.

So sad to hear the show is ending. Especially since there are still some things that need sorting out! The story wasn’t done! I too cant stand the unscripted crap reality shows. Lazy tv full of obnoxious extreme badly behaved boring ppl. No Heroes there. No bigger stories there. Just cheap tv. No world of mystery & magic. No reason to tune in.

I started watching this show during a Merlin marathon one year and was hooked.
I’ll be sorry to see it go, hopefully it will be replaced with some quality entertainment and not one of those crap reality shows that seem to be on every channel.
This season though, I think that the writers have already quit…
Every episode is Morgana, Morgana, Morgana.
What happened to the Black Knights coming to Camelot for the tornanment.
and for that matter where’s the Dragon?

In a world filled with heartache, debt, and dissapointment, it’s a nice change to escape to a fantastical world that deals with much of the same but in a very dynamic and exciting way. The stories are of serious matters with strong, raw emotion but adding a twist of whimsical humor. I just love Merlin’s character. He reminds me of me. Always trying to see the good in people but not afraid to defend the people he’s loyal to all costs. I will certainly miss it.

You got to be KIDDING another good TV show taken off. What up with the TV producer ? No doubt replace it with a brainless so called reality show ( that not really reality) that take little thinking to produce and boring to even watch . The TV is flooded with these so called reality show . Its ni.ce to be able to watch a show that doesn’t look like a day time soap. Please rethink about taking Merlin off . It is entertaining

Where is Merlin? It hasn’t been on for a few weeks. And I agree, this is a great show why is it being cancelled? I don’t watch reality TV and taking away quality will not make people who don’t like reality TV watch it. We’ll just read more.

I do not want this series to end.I look forward to watching it weekly, and look forward to it’s return when it goes off for the season. my daughter will be sending the same message shortly. It’s a great wholesome family series,and there are too few of .this kind of programs on cable. whatever you replace Merlin with, I for one will not watch. please do not take Merlin off the air, or if you do will it be shown on another station.
